My Grandfather watched both the 1920-21 side and the 1959-60 side. He always said that the 20-21 side was a touch better.

He also said that the one player he would have put into the 20-21 side, other than Jimmy Mac was Gordon Harris. He was the hardest working and most dedicated player he had seen. A great player and a sterling man.

Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

You not having heard of him defines you. He'll be a legend to his family. Should have considered that before you posted. However, the mitigation was you just being yourself.

No, it was disgraceful. The equivalent of the moron who thinks his views are legitimate when he shouts some obscenity during a minute's silence. Show some cojones and maintain a dignified silence on things if you've got nothing positive to contribute.

Come on Noddy, you know that this particular article was sensitive to family and friends of the deceased. To see his memory put up in a news article must be a real mark for them, something of genuine comfort and pride

You offer that you have no knowledge of this man. So why comment? And if you do have to, why does it have to be a "stab you finger the eye" type remark?

And why do you then compound it with "I have very right to post here". Given that you had no knowledge of the player, you have no hold on whether he was or was not a legend. He was to so many older Burnley fans who possessed knowledge of his achievements and his abilities. Far, far more importantly is the effect on his family.

You blog on here regularly. Do yourself a favour. Offer a dignified apology as an alternative to the "I was right, I have a right, get knotted" script you wrote previously.

I hope you are big enough.

Yes,, in your words l am big enough to apologise,,firstly l was stating in my first post that l had never heard of him,,which l had not,,l had never seen him on T V or the like but that does not mean l cannot offer my opinion on him as a player l never saw Bryan Douglas play but l know enough about him to pass a comment and to say with total confidence he was a legend,as a man l would not judge him for purely out of respect for him and his family and if l have offended mr Harris or his Family then l do apologise profoundly,

Tell you what you’ve got the right you. He was a terrific player and hard. Just shows that you besides being a disrespectful complete clown – Noddy – you have no idea about football. None at all. Keep off these threads.

RIP Gordon.
I always remember he and Brian O’Neil used to make Bremner and Giles jump when they played Leeds. What a tough lot both teams had then. He once scored a tremendous long range ‘bomb’ against Leeds at Turf Moor.

From a long-time Rovers fan............
I saw him play in the 60's.
A very good player and is deserving of a lot more respect than some of the Rovers fans on here have accorded him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
